Timber Frame Cabin On Lake

Timber Frame Cabin On Lake

This sweet little house has an open floor plan with a sleeping loft and beautiful views looking southwest over Cayuga Lake. Decks on two sides of the house lead to a “flight” of four decks below the house. The kitchen has a small refrigerator, induction burners, small oven, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and lots of cooking utensils and dishware. The bathroom has a claw-foot tub. On the decks, a gas grill and plenty of chairs and picnic tables for relaxing and entertaining.
Ideal for two, but can sleep four to six: queen mattress in loft, fold-out sofa bed, couch, and camping out in tents on the decks under large shade trees or on the double mattress in the boat house.
Not handicapped accessible: 28 gentle stone steps from the road down to the house, 3 to 6 steps between the decks, steep stairs down to the dock, boat house, and pebble beach, and in the house, a library ladder up to the sleeping loft.
Wifi. No smoking or incense. Pets considered.

About Nancy Lazarus

Rick and Nancy Lazarus live south of Ithaca and love Cayuga Lake and the sunsets from its east shore. This is our summer lake house, a quiet retreat.

Why Nancy Lazarus chose Lansing

The lake access and views are great, plus Bill George Road is a quiet and wooded road great for walking and bike riding. There are some houses on the lake side and a couple of small gorges. Great blue herons fly up and down the lake every day. Owls hoot at night. Rick is a timber frame barn restorer and he built this charming little house about 10 years ago.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Nice, Chill Spot..

Owner was helpful and communicative when needed. The house is relatively small but really all that we needed for just me and my wife and our 2 dogs. The house is within striking distance of a few restaurants, Ithaca, Wineries, and a short walk down/up the stairs to get to/from the lake and lake house. Only minor gripe was the tub (no shower). I know others got used to it, and we went in a cooler time of year so maybe its less of a factor in Summer, but I'd have liked to have a real shower. Otherwise, its a very chill spot, house took care of us for sure, and no complaints.

Weekend at the Cabin

This Cabin is perfect!!! Nancy goes out of her way to have everything perfect for you. It's just beautiful and peaceful over there and the sunsets! I was really relaxing. There's really nothing else to say except that I wish I was still the!
